meanwhile (2010)
"Koch’s piece, Meanwhile, is a world premier for Flatfoot. Having travelled from Seattle to work with the company, he has spent the past five weeks creating a quirky and lyrically challenging work in which the dancers move in lateral progressions across the stage, missing one another, connecting sometimes and all the while a chance turn on the dial of a FM radio makes the soundtrack “ The Witness, March 25, 2010
